Odds and ends for sept #2

Don David Torrontes Reserve 2006 The first reserve version of this relatively new grape type in this market. Pink grapefruit where usually I get more lemon zest. Too expensive for the money.


Cape Mentelle Shiraz 04 Beautiful wine with dark color and dark fruit flavors. Margaret River is a cool region in Southwest Australia so the wine almost tastes like a northern rhone with Iodine and bacon fat. Interesting combo I know but its typical.

Fattoria Lucignano 2005 Chanti Colli Fiorentini 2005 One of the lesser known regions of Chianti with Classico being best known. This wine had the typical rusty color of sangiovese whih is 80%. A fuller bodied mouthfeel and dusty finish . Pretty good for $16.
